Conference call and webcast scheduled for May 8, 2023, at 8:00 am EDT (2:00 pm CEST)

MAINZ, Germany, May 8, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioNTech SE (Nasdaq: BNTX, “BioNTech” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and provided an update on its corporate progress.

“In the first quarter of 2023, we expanded our toolkit of cutting-edge technologies to new modalities and added a novel immune checkpoint inhibitor candidate targeting CTLA-4 and two investigational antibody-drug conjugates to our arsenal against cancer. These programs are strategically aligned with our vision to provide meaningful therapeutic benefits for patients with solid tumors along the entire treatment journey,” said Prof. Ugur Sahin, M.D., CEO and Co-Founder of BioNTech. “We are taking significant steps in this direction as we prepare to initiate our first Phase 3 clinical trial in oncology for the novel anti-CTLA-4 antibody in NSCLC patients who have progressed after PD-1/PD-L1 treatment, a patient population with high medical need. We are also making progress in advancing our next generation COVID-19 vaccine candidate while we stand prepared for variant adaptation in case of public health need. For the remainder of 2023, we are focused on advancing our disruptive platforms against solid tumors and accelerating clinical programs in infectious diseases of high global need.”

Financial Review for the First Quarter 2023

in millions €, except per share data First Quarter 2023 First Quarter 2022
Total Revenues2 1,277.0 6,374.6
Net Profit 502.2 3,698.8
Diluted Earnings per Share 2.05 14.24

Total revenues reported were €1,277.0 million2 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to €6,374.6 million2 for the comparative prior year period. The change was mainly due to lower commercial revenues from the supply and sales of the Company’s COVID-19 vaccines worldwide.

Cost of sales were €96.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to €1,294.1 million for the comparative prior year period. The change was mainly due to decreasing sales from BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine revenues.

Research and development expenses were €334.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to €285.8 million for the comparative prior year period. The change was mainly due to higher expenses incurred from progressing the clinical studies for pipeline candidates. The increase was further driven by an increased headcount.

General and administrative expenses were €119.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to €90.8 million for the comparative prior year period. The change was mainly due to increased expenses for IT, purchased external services, as well as an increase in headcount.

Income taxes were accrued in an amount of €205.5 million of tax expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to €1,319.3 million of tax expenses for the comparative prior year period. The derived annual effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was 29.0% which is expected to decrease over the 2023 financial year to be in line with BioNTech’s guidance.

Net profit was €502.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to €3,698.8 million for the comparative prior year period.

Cash and cash equivalents as well as security investments were €12,143.9 million and €671.9 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2023. Subsequent to the end of the reporting period, the payment settling BioNTech’s gross profit share for the fourth quarter of 2022 (as defined by the contract with Pfizer, Inc. (“Pfizer”)) in the amount of €3,961.3 million was received from our collaboration partner as of April 14, 2023. The contractual settlement of the gross profit share under the COVID-19 vaccine program collaboration with Pfizer has a temporal offset of more than one calendar quarter. As Pfizer’s fiscal quarter for subsidiaries outside the United States differs from BioNTech’s financial reporting cycle, it creates an additional time lag between the recognition of revenues and the payment receipt.

Shares outstanding as of March 31, 2023 were 240,990,499.

Cash outflows and share consideration in connection with the planned acquisition of InstaDeep Ltd. (“InstaDeep”) and the upfront payments of the collaboration and license agreements with OncoC4, Inc. (“OncoC4”) and Duality Biologics (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. (“DualityBio”) of approximately €0.8 billion are expected (subject to change and excluding future potential earn-out and milestone payments).

“In the first quarter of 2023, our financial performance has been fully in line with our expectations and we executed according to our capital allocation priorities by growing and advancing our clinical-stage pipeline, announcing multiple significant business development transactions and continuing to pursue our share repurchase program,” said Jens Holstein, CFO of BioNTech. “For the remainder of 2023, we remain focused on fulfilling our goals and continuing to provide value to our patients and shareholders.”

Outlook for the 2023 Financial Year
The Company reiterates its prior financial year outlook:

BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine Revenues for the 2023 Financial Year:

Estimated BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine revenues for the full 2023 financial year ~ €5 billion

This revenue estimate reflects expected revenues related to BioNTech’s share of gross profit from COVID-19 vaccine sales in the collaboration partners’ territories, from direct COVID-19 vaccine sales to customers in BioNTech’s territory and expected revenues generated from products manufactured by BioNTech and sold to collaboration partners, which may be influenced by costs such as inventory write-offs once materialized and shared with the collaboration partner Pfizer.

Revenue guidance is based on various assumptions, including, but not limited to, the expected transition from an advanced purchase agreement environment to commercial market ordering starting in some geographies and an expected regulatory recommendation to adapt the COVID-19 vaccines to address newly circulating variants or sublineages of SARS-CoV-2. The estimated BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine revenues reflect expected deliveries under existing or committed supply contracts and anticipated sales through traditional commercial orders. A re-negotiation of the existing supply contract with the European Commission is ongoing, with the potential for a rephasing of deliveries of doses across multiple years and/or a volume reduction. While a vaccine adaptation is expected to lead to increased demand, fewer primary vaccinations and lowered population-wide levels of boosting are anticipated. Seasonal demand is assumed, moving expected revenue generation significantly to the second half of the year 2023.

Planned 2023 Financial Year Expenses and Capex4:

R&D expenses5 €2,400 million - €2,600 million
SG&A expenses €650 million - €750 million
Capital expenditures for operating activities6 €500 million - €600 million

Estimated 2023 Financial Year Tax Assumptions:

BioNTech Group estimated annual cash effective income tax rate ~ 27%
